Proved From The Scope Of The Evangelists:  For Proof that the Beleef of this Article, Jesus Is The Christ, is all the Faith required to Salvation, my first Argument shall bee from the Scope of the Evangelists; which was by the description of the life of our Saviour, to establish that one Article, Jesus Is The Christ.  The summe of St. Matthews Gospell is this, That Jesus was of the stock of David; Born of a Virgin; which are the Marks of the true Christ:  That the Magi came to worship him as King of the Jews:  That Herod for the same cause sought to kill him:  That John Baptist proclaimed him:  That he preached by himselfe, and his Apostles that he was that King; That he taught the Law, not as a Scribe, but as a man of Authority:  That he cured diseases by his Word onely, and did many other Miracles, which were foretold the Christ should doe:  That he was saluted King when he entered into Jerusalem:  That he fore-warned them to beware of all others that should pretend to be Christ:  That he was taken, accused, and put to death, for saying, hee was King:  That the cause of his condemnation written on the Crosse, was Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jewes.  All which tend to no other end than this, that men should beleeve, that Jesus Is The Christ.  Such therefore was the Scope of St. Matthews Gospel.  But the Scope of all the Evangelists (as may appear by reading them) was the same.  Therefore the Scope of the whole Gospell, was the establishing of that onely Article.  And St. John expressely makes it his conclusion, John 20. 31.  “These things are written, that you may know that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.

From The Sermons Of The Apostles:  My second Argument is taken from the Subject of the Sermons of the Apostles, both whilest our Saviour lived on earth, and after his Ascension.  The Apostles in our Saviours time were sent, Luke 9.2. to Preach the Kingdome of God:  For neither there, nor Mat. 10.7. giveth he any Commission to them, other than this, “As ye go, Preach, saying, the Kingdome of Heaven is at hand;” that is, that Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ, the King which was to come.  That their Preaching also after his ascension was the same, is manifest out of Acts 17.6.  “They drew (saith St. Luke) Jason and certain Brethren unto the Rulers of the City, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also, whom Jason hath received.  And these all do contrary to the Decrees of Caesar, saying, that there is another King, one Jesus:”  And out of the 2.&3. verses of the same Chapter, where it is said, that St. Paul “as his manner was, went in unto them; and three Sabbath dayes reasoned with them out of the Scriptures; opening and alledging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen againe from the dead, and that this Jesus (whom he preached) is Christ.”
